7 Points for not switching to SB after Off Duty

Easier on his fragile sensitive EGO to get himself banned than to admit defeat in our argument about this subject LOL

 

Hard to believe there is this much debate over this. As stated earlier, just don't state you were in the sleeper, say you.were at your girlfriends house or in a hotel. Jeesh an officer writing a cite for this, it's just #### stupid micro management. I am LE retired patrol supervisor. I used to get onto officers on my squad about writing chicken #### tickets, it's all about quality arrests/citations not quantity. So much easier to defend in court

 

That cop was ridiculous. The attempts to justify his citation are equal to justifying a citation for someone seating in the driver's seat making you-tube videos about the industry without logging it on line 4. I'd say, that the same ridiculous cap, with his low level of tolerance, could give a reckless driving citation to someone who operates a cmv while holding the camera making videos and commenting on what everybody else is doing.

 

Hey, now when elogs are in place, it is time for in cab cameras. They are needed to see if the drivers are indeed in the sleeper and also what exactly they are doing there. Law is a law. When you say you in the sleeper you have to be there. Even if you pee to a bottle you'd better do it in the sleeper.

 

I am all for Elogs believe me; I think it is a great idea. For good drivers, it is a big plus. This process will weed out all the 17-hour a day driving criminals. More loads, fewer drivers = higher pay for drivers. For someone like our guy that got the violation this kind of stuff is not justified. He works hard makes all the annotations, very neat and professional. Less than two months after the mandate to issue such severe violations to drivers for such minimal mistakes it is just bad policing as all.

 

I don't think your fellow driver deserves any of it. I tried to be sarcastic in my previous post. The cop was a big wide ### hole. I am sure 90% of all cops in the world would confirm it too. I would go to court. Falsify is the wrong term here...it must carry some wrongdoing intent. Otherwise every error or mistake could be called falsifying.

 

So should @scottied67 log “on duty” while filming and editing his videos?

 

Is filming part of his Pick Ups or Deliveries?
If Yes then yes
Of No then No

 

Is he compensated for the videos? If so, then yes.

 

yes! According to his own logic, especially while seating in the driver's seat.
